53 Main Street, Gorebridge

53 Main Street in Gorebridge is a later 19th century, two-storey, three-bay house that forms the end of a terrace. The building is constructed from tooled coursed sandstone with droved dressings and features long and short quoins.

The northwest elevation, which is the principal facade, is asymmetrical. It has a central recessed doorway with a stop-chamfered surround, leading to a replaced glazed timber door. To the right, there is a bipartite window with a built-up cement surround, and a window is located in the bay to the left. The first floor has regular fenestration.

The southwest elevation has two bays and is made of random rubble. It features a window in the bay to the right at ground level, with regular fenestration on the first floor.

The southeast elevation was not visible in 1997, and the northeast elevation is obscured by the adjoining terrace.

The house has eight-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with stone skews, cast iron rainwater goods, and a coped rubble gablehead stack with circular cans. The interior was not seen in 1997.
